Colonial Heights Middle Stem Students Redesign Grocery Carts for Safety
| Colonial Heights Middle School students Aaron Watterson and Jacob Housewright were given a task of redesigning a shopping cart. They read a report from the American Association of Pediatrics that stated 24,000 children between the ages of new born to 15 were killed or severely injured each year in shopping cart accidents. The students researched different products and found a product called micro lattice that has a volume that is 99.9 percent lighter than air. They came up with the idea o wrapping that in carbon fiber tubing which decreased the weight of the shopping cart from an average of 62 pounds to 18 pounds. Their pitch was this would lower the impact on children if the cart tipped over on top of them. This also would keep the same size and shape so people could still fit all the groceries they need in shopping cart

Thoroughly Modern Millie is a high-spirited musical romp that has all of New York dancing the Charleston. It's the zany new 1920's musical that has taken Broadway by storm!
Taking place in New York City in 1922, Thoroughly Modern Millie tells the story of young Millie Dillmount, who has just moved to the city in search of a new life for herself. It's a New York full of intrigue and jazz - a time when women were entering the workforce and the rules of love and social behavior were changing forever. Based on the popular movie, the stage version of Thoroughly Modern Millie includes a full score of new songs and bright dance numbers.
Filled with frisky flappers, dashing leading men and a dragon-lady of a villainess audiences will love to hate, Thoroughly Modern Millie is a perfectly constructed evening of madcap merriment.
